1938Physical Rev. LIII. 796/1 Inelastically scattered neutrons. 1942J. D. Stranathan ‘Particles’ of Mod. Physics vi. 229 It is possible that a few atoms..may occasionally collide inelastically, that one atom may spend a part of its kinetic energy in raising the electron of another atom to a higher energy level. 1966D. G. Brandon Mod. Techniques Metallogr. 112 It introduces a proportion of inelastically scattered electrons into the transmitted beam. 1969Physics Bull. Mar. 86/2 The primary electron transfers an amount of energy V0 to the atom and then leaves again, being observed externally as an inelastically reflected electron of energy Vp—V0. |
